He who lives by the sword dies by the sword

This saying is a biblical reference to Matthew xxvi. 52, All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. It tells us to be careful with what we are dealing with, with what we are best at. Do not think you know it very well, you could get hurt by what you like best as well.

This one is similar to if you play with fire you get burned.
